Line 6:
** The Elbow Attack in the original arcade game thanks to the easily duped AI. Normally the enemies in the game will be hesitant to approach you unless you turn your back on one of them, allowing you to catch them off-guard with the Elbow Attack, which has a decent range and always knocks the bad guys to the ground, regardless of who it is. In the second arcade game, the Elbow Punch's effectiveness is toned down a bit, but it's still works to some extent.
** Chin in general. He can and will mow down enemies in around three hits.
* [[Follow The Leader]]: A ''lot'' of games - and some entire franchises - were inspired by this one, including ''[[Final Fight]]'', ''[[Streets of Rage]]'', and ''[[Golden Axe]]''.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: The famous trick for skipping Stage 2's boss in the NES version of ''Double Dragon 1''. Going far enough downstairs will cause Chin to be removed from the level data to save RAM, and the game counts him as being defeated once he disappears.
* [[Misblamed]]: The misspelling of Billy's name as "Bimmy" in the third NES game is not the result of [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: the game's plot was completely rewritten from its original Famicom release. It's just your average typo.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
* [[The Scrappy]]: Billy, for being a bland and stereotypical good guy, in contrast to the more colorful Dragon Warriors.
** Daj, who drains screen time from the established characters, speaks with an incredibly annoying tone and accent, and has a ridiculous [[Story-Breaker Power]] that lets him basically save the day single-handed every time he appears.
* [[Shocking Swerve]]: Dai Lung's former master being an ''actual'' dragon. It's foreshadowed only briefly in the episode it happens and seems to happen for no reason.
* [[So Bad It's Good|So Bad, It's Good]]
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Abobo and Willy, two of the few villains actually from the games, get trapped in the Shadow Master's mural after a single episode in favor of a bunch of original characters.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: The Season 1 finale reveals that Shadow Master is the Lee Twins' uncle and that he kept his sister (their mother) sealed away rather than killed. You would think this would be a big plot point or at least give Shadow Master some depth, but it's never really brought up again and the reveal does nothing to change how either the Lee Twins or Shadow Master act.
